System Operation (with IQ Power Control Station)
The operation of the IQ Power HL/HLC Power Supply can be controlled through
the IQ Power Control Station. In operation, a device icon appears on the Control
Station Home Page. Tapping on the device icon opens a Summary page containing
information about the power supply, static neutralizing bar, and static sensor (if
connected). More detailed information and user editable parameters are available
through device tabs.
There are four Operation Modes available for the IQ Power HL/HLC power
supply: Fixed, Auto-Tune, CLFB and Manual. The Operation Mode is found on
the Control Station, HL Device page, Neutralizer tab. By tapping on the pencil icon
adjustment may be made to the Operation Mode.
Fixed
is the default setting and requires no user input. Fixed provides standard
operation, with output voltage regulation. The output current is monitored (against
a calibration point) and when output current is outside acceptable limits a clean bar
alarm will occur.
Auto-Tune
is not recommended for use with the Fantom HL blower.
CLFB
(Close-Loop Feedback) is an operation mode that incorporates use of an
IQ Power HL Sensor. The sensor must be mounted to detect static at the target
neutralization area so that it can “report back” on how well the neutralizer is
performing. Connecting a sensor into the IQ Power System through a Sensor
Interface at the HL power supply automatically associates the sensor with that power
supply and sets the “paring” with the power supply for that Fantom HL. When
using the HLC power supply, the Sensor Interface must be manually addressed to
the same address as the HLC. Once CLFB is enabled and the neutralizer is paired
with the sensor, the sensor detects any electrostatic charge at the target area and
directs the neutralizer to adjust its ion output to minimize any residual charge at the
target. For best performance, the neutralizer should be mounted as close as possible
to the target. This allows the neutralizer to use its maximum range of performance
while still achieving a minimum of residual charge.
Manual
is a power unit mode that includes the voltage regulation and current
monitoring found in the standard mode, plus manual control of the ion balance
ratio. This mode of operation would only be selected where the web, or material to
be neutralized, exhibits extreme and consistent charging of one polarity.
